Clinical Supervision in Home-Based ABA Services

  • 1st Edition
  • December 1, 2099
  • Melissa S Saunders
  • English
Clinical Supervision in Home-Based ABA Services covers services delivered in a home setting. It includes a chapter outlining how services and supervision vary across settings. An additional chapter reviews the importance of developing soft skills, interview skill, and communication skills as they relate to the dynamics found in homebased services (e.g., working with families, different cultural and diverse backgrounds of the technician and families within the home settings). This is the ultimate resource for supervising behavior analysts.In this Applied Behavior Analysis model, the supervising Behavior Analyst is expected to design individualized interventions for the patient while also ensuring the behavior technician is implementing those interventions correctly. While the tiered model does allow for more access to treatment, there are also many challenges which are also covered.

Understanding Individual Differences in Children

  • 1st Edition
  • November 1, 2029
  • John H. Kranzler
  • English
School professionals rely heavily on normative frames of reference for the identification and classification of children with academic or behavior problems. Understanding individual differences is necessary for optimal conceptualization and explanation of school-related difficulties, as well as for effective planning and evaluation of individualized school-based interventions. This book describes variability within a bio-ecological model of human development. The role of genetics and biological functioning is mediated by social contexts and the family environment to influence variability in different domains of psychological functioning (viz., cognitive, social-emotional, and behavioral). The book describes how individual differences interact with specific situations, leading to outcomes in educationally relevant behaviors, such as achievement, self-esteem, motivation and peer relations.

  • Kar-yiu Wong
  • English
China’s foreign trade and foreign direct investment have contributed substantially to the growth of its economy. China trades heavily not only with its neighboring countries in Asia and with giants such as the United States, Japan, and Germany, but also with smaller partners in Latin America and Africa. It is, for example, the largest trading partner of many African countries. The Handbook of the Chinese Economy and Its External Economic Relations unveils the policies, trends, and economic opportunities that brought China to this point in its development. Featuring extensive data for each chapter, the Handbook separates itself from other reference works by detailing China’s integration with the rest of the world.
